We spent the weekend out of town, eating out for every meal so when we got home we were all craving something light and healthier. I found a recipe through Buzzfeed and made several changes to it, and we really enjoyed the end result. I think it would be even better with grilled chicken or shrimp.
Kale Quinoa Bowl
2 c water
1 c quinoa
1 bunch of kale
juice and zest of one orange
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 c feta
1/2 c pecans, toasted and chopped

Boil the water and add the quinoa, cook for 20 minutes on simmer with the lid on. Add the kale and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until most of the liquid is gone. In a bowl, pour the quinoa and kale mixture and add all ingredients. Serve warm or cold. Serves 3.
